The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Environment, Mr Iheanyichukwu Ubani has pointed out this month of May sanitation exercise did not measure up with the expectations.
Ubani who was represented by the Director, Environmental Health and Pollution Control, in the ministry, Mr Godson Aharanya said generally the exercise witnessed some low level of compliance.
However, he added that in spite of the low level of compliance the exercise was a success, because people were sighted cleaning their surroundings while pay loaders were also on ground to dispose the refuse to dump sites
He appeals that more enforcement officers are needed in future exercises to make it a huge success.
Meanwhile, Aharanya advised Abians to take cleaning their environment serious and desist from waiting for the government to coerce them before they can keep their surroundings clean.
He stressed that the health of one man, is the health of all.
